“When we look at the international situation on COVID-19, some countries suffered from the virus. It is the second wave but some estimated that it is the third wave. In some countries, in the second wave, they can contain the virus. The reason they can control the virus is not concerned with whether the country is rich or poor. It concerns the people who abide by the rules and regulations of COVID-19,” said State Counsellor AUng San Suu Kyi.
The best and the simplest way to contain the virus is to avoid the public and abide by the social distancing rule, she continued.
